Plushie Playtime
Senior Game Designer, Jonathan LeCraft, recently gave us some information on an interesting tailoring pet possibly coming in the expansion — the Elekk Plushie.

Although there was talk of this pet possibly not making it into the release, it looks like this stuffed animal will have a special place in our collections and on our teams.

"If you see this on PTR, don't worry... we'll be adding way more trainers to it."

LeCraft Tweeted a preview of an upcoming achievement called "Elekktrifying Performance" which requires players to defeat specific trainers while using the Elekk Plushie on their team. Since this unique pet is not actually effective in battles, better get your carry teams ready for it!

An achievement for leveling your Elekk Plushie to level 25 is also in the works, however this pet and related achievements will be one of a kind for the time being.

Who knows if or when another in-game plushie companion will be released, so we hope your carry teams are always ready to play!

Frankly, I think this is a really smart way of adding a little variety to pet battles without allowing any power creep - it's forcing more tactical play to earn these achievements, as opposed to bruteforce play.
